I’m feeling a bit better all of a sudden. I’m still in alot of pain, but not nearly as much as I had been. I’m going to take it easy and see how it goes though, before I start moving around too much. It might also be the vicoden helping me feel better as I’d taken a bit of it today but I’ve been taking it since Wednesday and although it has taken the edge off the pain, it hasn’t really been that noticeable until now.

Anyway, I tried to take a nap but it’s really hard to sleep when you haven’t eaten all day and your kid is loud as hell. I had a talk with him about being quiet but I just don’t think that word is in his vocabulary. So, I’m going to go lay on the sofa and watch HGTv or Lifetime and eat some Thanksgiving leftovers that my mom sent me home with. Yum.

The fact that I have an appetite is also a good sign, no?

Right now my son is out on the front porch sanding my coffee table. I’ve been wanting to paint it for awhile, or restain it, but I haven’t gotten around to sanding it down and getting it ready. Well, while at my mom’s he sanded her dining room table for her so she could restain it and he had such fun that he asked her for some sandpaper so he could come home and sand my coffee table. He’s so funny. I never liked sanding things, but if it’s something he enjoys then yay for him.

He’s more helpful around the house than most men I know. Sad, isnt it?

Anyway, hopefully today I feel well enough to help my son clean his room because although he’s a pretty handy kid, he hates cleaning his own room. It’s quite frustrating. I’m not sure that I’ll be up to it, though, feeling the way I do. I just took some painkillers and I might have to make Eric come inside so I can lay down, and he’ll either have to finish that coffee table on the back porch or at another time.

While I Have A Moment…

Well, Eric’s home. I’m really glad because it gets lonely around here after awhile. He had an ok time at my mom’s but I think he’s getting kinda tired of how my step-dad acts. I mean I guess I am too. He’s a grown man but he acts like a little kid most of the time and it makes me wonder what’s wrong with him. I mean he argues with my son as if he’s my son’s age. Reminds me of someone else I know, but anyway.

I told Eric to stay out of my closet and he knows it’s because I have Christmas gifts hidden in there. Last night he said “I wish you had a lock on your closet so I couldn’t go in there.” This leads me to believe that he is lacking in will power, so I told him I set a trap so I would know if the closet door had been opened. If it gets opened, I am returning his Christmas presents. That should keep him out.

If I’m feeling better by next week, I want to get the tree set up. He’s been wanting to do it ever since he walked in the door from my mom’s last night.

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.
